Touch BED BUGs.-One day they
were talking in Uncle Hanks grocery
about large bed bugs and tough bed
bugs.
Il boiled bed bug nine hours and il
swan around on top all the time,' said
old Clifford.
4 put bed bug in a kerosene lamp,
said Charley Cambell, kept it there
four years, and it hatcbed out twenty
seven litters of bed bugs right in the
kerosene
Old Hank Allen, who had been listen
ing as ALI outsider, here CAV" in his ex
perience in confederation of the facts.
Said he:
Some years ago 1 took bed bug TO
Woods iIon foundry and dropped it into
ladle where the melted iron was, and
had it run into skillet. We'll, my
old woman used that skillet for six
years, and here the other day she broke
ii all 10 smash and what do you think,
gentlemen that ERE insect just walked
out of his hole, where he'd been layin'

GREAT MISTAKE

as heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part Of thousands Of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have eI-
hsusted the skill Of various physicians and
tried numerous so-called remedies. To
such AthlopLoros Is offered a. a safe, svre,
and qticE cure. Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and vet il Is not surprising be-
cause il nil do all that is claimed for II.
The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation to re-
reliable parties who have been cured by it.
war1ensburgh, y. Y.
Enclosed find postal note for one-hah
dozen bottles of your Athlophoros- 1t is
wonderful how II cures every case where
can persuade them TO try. The sales are
increasing. Ny sister-in-law was given up
to die by the doctors; they sent for me;
took a bottle of Athlophoros and persuaded
her to try it, the second dose gave relief.
She had not lain in bed for two weeks;
the next night she went 10 bed and slept
all night; in one week she was up and at
work around the house. Many thanks
Mrs. JNo. ID. NUTTISG.
1t is owing to Athlophoros that / am
alive. j have suffered with infammatory
rheumatism for years, most ofthe time be-
ing perfectly helpless. But one bottle of
Athlophoros has cured me. There is no
thing like it for the speedy relief and per-
ment cure of rheumatism, so | recommend
it to all, knowing it will accomplish what
IL claims to do. Mrs. +. NICKERs,
46 Pleasant St., Waterbury, Conn.
F.C Hazard, Upper Li.le, \. Y, says:
al had neuralgia in the head and neck,
and Athlophoros cured them"

not lie bought OF the druggist the Athlo-

a RATS REvENGE.-PickM McKe0n,
a well-known employe on the wharYes
of ths Pennsylvania Company. assures
me that he has seen many an old rat lose
his eye n a fight with the spauows.
Once he saw a sparrow caught by a one
eyed rat. bequadrupedh had apparently
lost his eye in one of the oat troubles
some weeks before. Il was clear that
1t Was animated by spirit Of revenge
For two days. says Pick, - saw the
rat lying on his back, under a string
piece, as though dead. One Of Daddy
Reid's horses was spIl1ing oats near by
and the sparrows were filling themselves
The third day the horse had q tantrum
and shook the oats all over the Iss.
The spaIrows ate the scattered oats
first. They were evidently suspicious
OF the rat, although he had been lying
there at their dinner-hour for two days.
Finally bold little cock went up to the
rat and began to gick the oats from be-
tween his hind legs. In a jiffy the rat
doubled on him. There was a snap Ike
the blade of a jack knife. The sparrow
gave fiutter and a dying gasp, and The
rat dragged him away with one wing
trailing behind him. 8"

constantly making various and exten-
sive experiments for the Improvement
OF agriculture. He is stimulated with
that desi1e which always actuates him
to do good to mankind. In 1886 he
killed 15o hogs, weighing $500 pounds,

People Who WorshIped Serpents.

Notwithstanding the losthing which
most races of men have always felt for
the whole serpent tribe, there was a
small sect in the early days of Christian
ity who did not share this feeling. In
fact, these people actually worshiped
serpents. They belonged to the large
and more intellectually dignified and
important body of schismatlcs called
Gnostics. The serpent worshipeIs be-
Iieved that the snake which tempted
Eve performed highly beneficial SER
vice for humanity. II the serpent had
not taken advantage Of his opportunity,
they conteuded. in effect, our first
parents would have remained in the
Garden of Eden to the end of their days,
and all the succeeding generations
would have remained in d condition Of
pr:meval nakedness, innocence and sim
plicity.
Such condition of things, in the
opinion of this particular sect of Gnos-
tics, would not only be highly monoto-
nous, but would also be degrading and
injurious to the last degree. There
would be dull, dead sameness through
out the world. Life would be tedious,
colorless and insiped. The picturesque
aud pleasing diversificstion in language,
gaIb and physical and mental character
Istics whidh now differentiate one race
and nation from another would be ab-
sent, because there would be but one race
and one nation on the whole globe. No
exertion would be made to provide food
or Iaiment, for one would be provided
without exeItion, and the other would
be unnecessary and Questionable.
There would be no incentive for ambi-
tion, as ali mankind would be on a dull,
dead level. Progress would be undesir-
able, and, indeed, impossible even were
it desirable. Some of the Gnostics were
perverse enough to honor Cain, Judas
I5cariot and other wicked personages,
but the serpent worshipers literally re-
vered snakes, and took them to their
bosom not dguratively, but really and
actually-and kissed them.
